NYRI application ruled complete by Public Service Commission

ALBANY – A ruling by the Public Service Commission means the clock is now clicking on NYRI. The PSC issued a letter of compliance dated Thursday deeming the Article VII application for the controversial 190-mile electricity transmission line as complete.

“We are very pleased by the PSC’s decision and were optimistic all along that we would be judged fairly by the merits of our project,” said Chris Thompson, president of New York Regional Interconnect in a statement to the press. “This is a significant milestone and turning point for NYRI.”
